estate agents of Kansas City. Real estate

you want to invest money consult them.
Mr.. T.. c. Young met with quite a little
misfortune, last Monday morning. While
hauling a load of groceries q sack of coffee
became sbraded by one of the wheels and
about 90 pounds of the stimU Ting berry was
lost. At 20. cents per pound, or thereabouts,
this overbslances the price of the hauling
pretty badly.
Mr.. H. W. WInsor was in town Thursday.
he reports the coal business at Higginsyille
as being good. He says he has been dong all
that his mines were capable of since October.
Here our coal operators are restricted in their
operations by the want Of cars. We are as
sured that 1000 car loads per month more
coal could have been mined here this
winter, If cars could have been procured.
This would not have overtsxed the mines,
and the demand has been even beyond the
capacity of the mines.
